> They've taken the stance that parents get to decide what books their kids see.

So why draw the line at books depicting gay couples, rather than literally all books? Because this has nothing to do with the ban, except for being a “family-friendly” bullshit justification.



They didn't draw the line there, that's case that was brought forth. That's how the courts work.


> that's case that was brought forth

That's not how the Supreme Court works. They are selective about the cases they hear. Especially looking at a 6-3 ruling with this court it's clear to see this was an ideological selection.


So that case was not brought forth the supreme court for them to rule on? They rule on that specific case.


Yes, the case was appealed to the Supreme Court who chose to hear it instead of choosing not to hear it. That is ultimately why they ruled on the case.

Given that, it really does seem that the court ruled 6-3 in favor of the plaintiffs who are trying to draw a line around gay couples because the court is trying to draw a line around gay couples.
